MY BROTHER AND MY COMRADE:

I have not much to say to you at this time for I gave you full and long instructions and several suggestions in the last communication. I would ask you to continue to study them and to go on pondering on their significance and their implications. There is much in them which you have not had the time to assimilate, for I gave you much, knowing that you could stand the pressure of my suggestion.

You have made good progress in linking up with your group brothers. It is not an easy task to work in a group which has been functioning for some time and has already achieved a measure of subjective integration, but your group brothers are close to you and the consciousness of this fact is steadily growing in your mind.

It may be of assistance to you and complete the information given in your first personal instructions, if I were to indicate the points of contact through which your soul and your personality primarily work:

1. In this incarnation, your ego or soul is seeking expression through your astral body. There lies for you the line of least resistance. This established contact will rapidly transmute sixth ray devotion into universal and non-critical love. It will give you what I might call horizontal inclusiveness as well as vertical one-pointedness. Ponder on this. [668]
2. Your personality force is focused in your seventh ray brain. This gives you the power to plan, to organize, and also the power to give form to ideas. Ponder also on this.

I would call your attention anew to the three key words, Joy, Stability, and the Plan; during the past year there have been many occasions when the Way of Joy has been for you a hard way to go. Yet it is one of the needed characteristics of discipleship, leading - as it does - to soul strength; it is an essential quality for all those second ray people who are oriented particularly to treading, at some future date and after initiation, the difficult way of all world saviors. It is valuable for you to distinguish between a World Savior and the world saviors. I have given you here a deeply esoteric hint.

Stability or steadfastness, which is the power to stand unmoving in the center of your environment and in the midst of changing circumstance, will be tested out in you this year. To stand this test, your soul is challenging you. When, therefore, the need for quiet and poised strength arises and there come those moments when powerful action seems desirable or violent protest or words are deemed advisable, stand in steadfastness and recollect the need for poise, for patience and the desirability to await right indication of the way to go and the need for speech or for silence. This waiting will often change the direction of your intent and no action will then be taken but only that steady vision which sees the inner side and not the outer happening.
